I have an old blind dog, but he still enjoys walks, I just have to guide him away from parked cars, and other stationary objects. But he is not very well behaved out there. Thase are some of the things I get sick of having to say on these walks;
Lisa seems to be saying “You’re wearing the wrong shoes!” – but Teresa is all “You do what you want! I’m getting me some eggs!” So long ago.
From Christmas Day 1967, me in the yellow shirt, with some of my sisters.
NOCTURNAL NOISES I had a bit of a hard time sleeping last night… Had the radio on classical music to try to soothe the mental torment, but something about that violin concerto wasn’t quite right. It took probably 20 minutes of careful listening, occasionally holding my breath, being very still, to determine that the discordant…
We took this picture when our cat Maize was at the vet. I recently learned that when you wrap a cat up like this, it’s called a “purrito”. It pays to increase your word power!
RIP Bud Miller of Beaver, Forks, and Yakima My brother and friend Bud Miller AKA Charles S. Miller, passed away in October 2014, in a house he was renting next to a river, way up in Curlew, Wa. – My understanding is that he passed away peacefully in his sleep. He is even now missed…

Our friend sent me a picture from Costa Rica, while we are experiencing a cold snap. Just good timing I guess. Got this text while standing in line at Costco. Teresa asked about the weather there, and I replied (Just as we got to checkout) “Well, the monkey’s not wearing a coat”. The checkout clerk…
We found this old guy at the animal shelter, looking kinda pathetic because of allergies, according to our vet. We got some pills and eyedrops and special shampoo, now Cody is feeling better. He is enjoying having a back yard, and snoozing on the floor in my office, with no yips and yaps, no parade…
